Deliverables

4D-model of DNA pore

Upon assembly of a functional DNA pore, which is verified to insert itself in biological membrane environments, the pore will be analysed using electron cryo-tomography. Subsequently, 4D-models will be created.

4D-model of archaellum

Upon expression, purification and biochemical analysis of several wildtype and mutated archaellum subunits, the proteins will be analysed using electron cryo-microscopy. We will use the archaellum proteins from different archaea such as S. acidocaldarius, P.furiosus, M. jannaschii and Archaeoglobus fulgidus. We will also image the intact archaellar motor in situ in Haloferax volcanii cells. It is expected this variety of model organisms will ensure that structural information can be obtained. Subsequently, 4D-models will be created: a description of the mechanism that accounts for function.

DNA origami design software

Based on existing DNA origami design software a novel bioinformatic toolkit will be created to enable the automated protein embedding function into the DNA scaffold using the 4D models from WP3

Collaborative website

A website that will facilitate internal and external communication and dissemination.

Data management plan

A Data Management Plan will be elaborated within the first six months of the project, guaranteeing an appropriate disclosure of research data to the public and standardised data management within the project. The types of data that will be generated and collected within the project comprise design data (oligonucleotide sequences, technical drawings, etc.), laboratory test data (images, reaction parameters, etc.), software and metadata (final results/scientific insights, documentation, reports, publications, etc.). Three different levels of confidentiality will be defined according to IP issues and marketing strategies: classified data, IPR relevant data and public data.
